Hi everyone,

I am new on this forum and I was wondering if I can get some advise here from you wonderful people.

My story, my husband came as a student in 2004, last visa was on PSW expired in 2012. I made application in July 2012 for extension on FLR (FP), this was refused in 2013 with a right of appeal. Appeal was in February 2014 but was withdrawn on the day for a reconsideration this was also refused this month with a right of appeal.

No criminal for both of us, now I and the kids have been here 8 years except the last who was born here and now 7 years. I don't have new appeal date yet but my husband will clock ten years in 2 months. Please note that the last two years have been on 3c, which I believe count towards your long residence.

Your advise will be highly appreciated as if God helps, we are hoping to change the basis on our appeal from FLR (FP) to long residence on my husband.

I hope to hear your view and your advise soon.

God bless you all.

This is routine. You will receive your data in due course and within 40 days. Payment is normalled debited when all the data is ready to be sent out to you. I apply in the mid of May and expecting a response back by end of June. All of friends who applied for SAR had their payment taken just before they got the SAR package.
hey guys
i applied for my SAR on 5th of june thursday i still haven't receive any acknowledgement letter. My question is what form you guyz used to apply SAR. I used the form available on UKVI website and posted it to this address with £10 check

zebikhan wrote:Hi, I am a bit confused with a situation I am going through.
Actually, I got ILR a week ago on the basis of long term 10 years residence comprises of 6 years as a student, 2 years with post study work (psw) and remaining two years being a spouce of EEA National.
my question is, can I apply for british citizenship after 12 month if my wife get divorce now.
secondly, if I divorce to her now then do I need to provide my wife' treaty rights proofs after 12 months at the time of making application for BC.
Please reply, I will be grateful to you.

Hello zebikhan,
i don't think you will need to provide any of the above you mentioned when you are applying for your naturalisation to be a BC using application form AN. To the best of my knowledge if you decide to divorce your wife or vise versa and want to apply for Naturalisation after 12-months. i will advise you to download application form AN with its guidance to be aware of the requirements before you make any decision of divorce.
hope this helps.

Hi yas01
yes of course you can apply for her with a letter attached explaining to HO that they should base her application on the out come of yours. Am sure if you dig deep in the previous pages will come across a sample letter for your case.

Salam bro,

On 03-06-2014 there were 485 pending FEB applications.

On 17-06-2014 there are still 430 pending FEB applications. So in two weeks HO has decided only 55 FEB applications. By looking at those number and HO pace i think me and you have to wait till end of July.
